In June 1988 Harlequin started the third Harlequin Historical imprint. The essential difference to its predecessors was the selection of books. The two former imprints were reissues of Mills & Boon Historical Romance titles whereas now authors - mostly American - wrote for this imprint. Patricia Potter started her writing career with #6 of this series and #1 was written by Kristin James, now writing historical romances under the Mira imprint as Candace Camp.

Titles form the Harlequin Historical series are published by Mills & Boon in the Mills & Boon Historical Romance imprint (and vice versa), some of the Mills & Boon titles available as Harlequin Historical Subscription.

The imprint features a wide-range of historical periods, from ancient times to the First and Second World Wars (although most popular settings are Regency, Medieval, and Western). Harlequin boasts that central relationship is the key driving force, set against an accurate backdrop (from the writing guidelines].
